Here is a read only link to the Aerodrome Database - WhichAerodrome.xlsx. Up to date as of 1/5/2019. Catching up slowly - up to May 2019 now (Mar 2020).
Here are some "rules" for Which Aerodrome. These are based upon the original suggestions from the very first thread, and have a few additions. Also please be patient as when you are active others may be asleep.

Thanks, I'll pass it to Dook if he wants it as he suggested Fearn. Fearn was actually my first thought seeing the design of the tower but looking at Fearn on GE the overhead didn't fit so I dismissed it without actually looking at the tower. I'd looked for Godwit, based on it being a RNAS a long way from the sea and couldn't find it so had given up on it until Dook posted Fearn and i googled a picture of the Tower and then searched for towers of the same design. It's not easy to find as it's not where most of the links say it is.
Over to Dook or otherwise OH.

Thanks. Bed time, Open House I regret.
A short note on Hinstock, one of the many Shropshire fields. Originally Ollerton, but similarity to Tollerton resulted in the Nottingham field retaining its name and the Royal Navy making the change.

Disused but a very interesting history.
Nice clue CGB. Completely beyond my wit!
This is clearly beyond the wit of man.
Rangsdorf Berlin.....OH if correct...aber Gute Nacht !
Well that didn't last long. I had never heard of Rangsdorf. It's just south of Berlin and has been unused since the Russians left in 1994.
I'll wait for sycamore to wake up!
Rangsdorf is a municipality in the district of Teltow-Fläming in Brandenburg in Germany. It has an airfield [up to 1940 a genuine commercial airport] from where on 20 July 1944 Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg took off on his fateful attempt to assassinate German leader Adolf Hitler at his military headquarters in East Prussia, the Wolfsschanze. Reich Minister of Armaments and Ammunition Fritz Todt was killed in a Heinkel He 111 crash departing the airfield on 8 February 1942.
